If you're signing up for Yojimbo, find the other sticky thread in the Get Involved section.

Reply to this thread if you want to volunteer or be staff. Be sure to include:

1) Full Name (real)2) E-mail3) Forum Name4) Age (useful for knowing if you're going to be available after curfew)5) Volunteer or Staff6) What would you like to help with in 2009?

If you would not like this information public, please email volunteers@kumoricon.org, and the information will be given to whomever is chosen to be the volunteer coordinator in November.

Please keep in mind if you are signing up for staff you will still need to hand in a completed staff registration form as well as the staff registration fee at a meeting before you are fully considered staff.

I have helped run and officiate in track meets for 6-7 years, including some national level competitions with 1500+ athletes. I was generally in charge of the clerk circle, which handles registration and information, making sure officials have all of the necessary paper work for their events and that they start on time, coordinating breaks in between events, data entry and posting results, as well as a few other misc tasks. It can definitely be a stress heavy environment and includes long days.

So anything along those lines would be easily doable, or whatever gap I am needed to fill. I do like to be able to walk around at least every once in a while. So if the info desk needs help as well, I could assist them during that time or just roam and help various con attendees who have questions.

However there are a few complications. I live in Eugene, and as of this moment, I don't have a car. Also, as I work retail, I have to work some weekends. I have a 3 weeks schedule rotation, but it is fairly constant, so I can plan ahead. I get every third weekend off normally. I do have vacation time, but I would prefer to save that for the actual con and other events if it is needed.

So depending on when the meetings are, I may or may not be able to make most of them. If you have any questions or if you need more info about my work schedule, please let me know and I can give you the details. I will do my best to physically attend any meetings possible, but I also have no problems "telecommuting" or catching up on anything important that I missed.

P.S. This year I volunteered a few times and helped at the sake/beer tasting panel, the information desk, and a few of the viewing rooms.

No one should make someone Cry, Seeing someone upset due to miss behavior (Such as Those surprise glomps out of nowhere) such as name calling and harassing and I don’t want them to have a bad experience Kumoricon is meant to be fun. . . .

Kumoricon was my first con years ago and is near my heart still, for it’s one of a kind experience and Community. <3

Lol, I'd rather forget the better part of that year for various reasons. Aside from which I've been utterly unavailable to all of this for nigh on three years since then, due to needing to pay off bills and other such things. XD

I just hope I can do something nice for Prog dept again, it'd be like coming back to my old hometown or something. Yay Prog!

I can run as many hours as you need me, as long as I have energy energy drinks. and I will. I think I'd work well with DancingTofu

If I had've known that people would call me my forum name at the con, I wouldn't of picked something so dumb.

1) Sahara Sooter2) saharasooter@comcast.net3) oslapedo4) 16 by KCon '095) Staff6) In addition to Maid Squad which I intend on joining I'm good for whatever work is assigned to me. I'd like to interact with con attendees : D

Would it be a problem if I can only attend the meetings infrequently? I live 3 hours away from Portland, but I'd be able to make the meetings whenever I was in the area at my mom's house. I'd very much like to be a part of staff but if it's not good enough then that's alright too.

Edit: I should mention that I'll be probably be available to meetings from the end of July till KCon. So I could do bag stuffing and whatnot for next year XD

I'll occasionally be able to come up to meetings with Oslapedo, but not as often as her seeing how I'm gone during the longer breaks in school. If it's not as often as you would like, then that's fine.

I'll be able to make this upcoming meeting on the 11th. Since I wasn't staff prior, I obviously won't be able to vote in the elections, but is it alright for me to come, just to observe? And I'd like to take care of my forms and dues there : D

Can we print out the forms for staff somewhere and hand them in on the 11th?

It's under Documents on the main website. However, it's the form for 2008... I'm not sure how the powers that be will want to handle that, they might have new forms ready to go for everyone at that meeting...

Maid Squad currently falls under Vice, and we don't know whether Vice will be a part of the staff election or not because that issue is being voted on that same day.

Basically, it's a good idea to come prepared. Show up to elections either way, because it's good to be informed about who you'll be working with in the coming year. If for any reason people can't sign up at elections, you can sign up at the next general meeting in November (date time and location to be announced).

Kcon Lite is a mini-event in conjunction with the anime and gaming clubs of PSU... you do not need to be Kcon staff to help out. There will be a thread for volunteers for the event posted, probably sometime next week. Or you can PM Logan (the guy who posted the original thread), and let him know you'd like to help.

1) Valerie Munkres2) valliegirl@gmail.com3) valliegirl4) 285) Staff6) I'm up in the air at this point as to what I want to do. I still wish to work within Ops. I love Ops and it is my home. I believe I'd like to wait to declare a position until the new powers that be settle information on positions being created and see if there's a need I can adequately fill that may not have existed previously. Or I could be your info desk again.
